So sad: Husband has glioma and I feel he is fading away

Hello @rosez,

I am so sorry to hear about your daughter's Lymphoma diagnosis. I can certainly understand your feeling of being overwhelmed.

How is your daughter handling this new diagnosis? Is she feeling confident regarding her medical team and future treatment?

Regarding your husband, I can understand your frustration as you perceive that "he is not trying his hardest." It is difficult when we want someone to do everything that they can and they seem to be at a stalemate. Sometimes chronic illnesses cause some people to surrender to their situation rather than take in on and try their best to overcome. Do you think that is where your husband might be right now?

Thoughts and prayers go with you at this time. The caregiving role is a very difficult one, @rosez, don't forget that. You appear to be very dedicated to this task but it does take a lot to "keep on keeping on." Try not to forget that your husband, at some level, realizes all you are doing to help him and he undoubtedly appreciates your caring and concern even if he is not able to express it right now.

Post again, and let me know how you are doing and please take care of yourself during this time. Try and do something for yourself that can be a distraction from the concerns you have. I look forward to hearing from you again.

My daughter is so sad because she has 2. 31/2 year old girls. She does have faith in her doctors and wishes we could be together. I am on the east coast and she is on the west. This virus is and my husband's cancer is keeping us apart.
